Its not that I'm not sympathetic I just find it hard to empathise with the way you are feeling because as far as I can remember I've never felt that way - I think I'm a bit odd like that...:o:o

You are a youngster, its good that you have never had to feel that way. I didn't until I had my first child. I was 'sympathetic' with people when they had miscarriages till I had one myself and then realised I had no idea what people were really going through.

You aren't odd btw....well not much..:D

Sammy, I wasn't about last night but I'm sorry you're feeling down, hope the doctor can help you.

Thanks

Sammy, make sure you get to the doctors hon. I'll be thinking of you.

I have been. My dctors are very good. I have scored 16 on the scale (moderate depression) I have anti d's and she is refering me for counselling as she thinks this stems from all the stress of losing my job as a high flying career woman four years ago....she may be right!

She thinks the anti d's will kick start me back into taking pleasure at doing stuff for myself like running...:T

How do they scale depression?

I think Maz has just tried twice and it didn't work for her...

they ask you questions like are you under/over eating?

Are you lacking in energy?

Do you wake up in the night/fall asleep randomly or have trouble staying asleep?

the only one I couldn't answer was the last one, are you having suicidal thoughts....I thought it only fair to mention that I didn't want to kill myself - just other people.....:rotfl:

Well done for going and your doctor sounds very helpful

Ames

Wow, your doctor sounds good Sammy, all too often they just throw tablets at you, it's great that she's organising counselling too, I hope it works.

I wish I hadn't read back over last night's thread, I've just joined the Hotel Chocoalt thing!

they provide an excellent service Ames...when I had PND they had me under psychiatric care and had a nurse visit me every week. I had counselling then. They have a counsellor connected to the surgery so its easy to arrange....

Your doctor does sound good Sammy, hope the tablets help.

Is wanting to kill people a symptom of depression? :whistle:

I have just dumped someone would have told them in person but can't speak so have had to send them a message. Cute but there is a serious lack of spark, and I've found myself avoiding him because our conversations bore me.

He seemed very keen too - story of my life. :rolleyes:


I'm sitting here with the heating on full blast wearing a coat and a scarf...cold not REALLY improving then!

No its not a symptom more a side effect...I am quite placid normally - honestly I am! It takes a lot to wind me up normally. But lately I just feel like punching someone...no one in particular but I would give me a wide berth just lately.

I am sure he will get over it Snags...:rotfl:;)
